Happy Hump Day. We’re back with Andrew (@KingOfTheRooks) for your Wonderkids Wednesday, where the champions are about to start a Champions League adventure.

Hello and welcome back to The Wonderkids who are probably wondering where I’ve been for the past three months. Last time out we had stuttered our way to the Premier League title in our first season with a lot of the players not really making the grade…surely this means our debut season in the Champions League will be awful! We make some minus-man additions to the squad.

Hello and welcome back to what will be the final part in the Wonderkids series until later in the year. Whether you’ve followed us from the beginning or you’ve joined us along the way, I hope that you’ve enjoyed the journey, and the significant number of awful, what can barely be described as, jokes to boot! Before we say goodbye for now, let us take a look back over the past four seasons, which, like the best hotels, aren’t totally comfortable.

Hello and welcome back to The Wonderkids! We’re back for the run in to our inaugural season in the Premier League, you can catch up on last week here. It is a real battle this season, with no team standing out, we’ve lost some key players and we’ve been on a bit of a bad run of late. Here is a reminder of where we sat in the table:

Hello and welcome back to The Wonderkids where we are taking a bunch of players on the knife edge between Ronal-do and Ronal-don’t from the complete unknown to, hopefully, the pinnacle of CM9798 (although, I’m yet to decide what that pinnacle is!). If you’ve been keeping up with us, you’ll know that the demands of just 10 games of football can be a precarious path to follow for these tin soldiers, from crisp packet hands to broom handle spines…we’ve got it all. You can catch up with last week here where we continued on our Premier League path. Here is a reminder of the table where we left off:

Hello and welcome back to the latest part of our adventure with The Wonderkids. From Division Three to the Premier League; from anonymity to International recognition; released after one week and never snapped up by another club (hellooo Nicoletti). You can catch up with the start of our assault on the Premier League here.

So far, we’ve made a solid start to life at the top of the dinner table, and despite losing two games we’re seven points clear at the top with Yuri Rose and Ulrik ‘Ulrika’ Balling on fire. The only crushing blow so far has been Leonidas effectively ruled out until the start of next season. Here’s a reminder of our lofty perch:

Hello and welcome to season four of The Wonderkids. We’ve been on a journey from Division Three and have finally taken our men with the minus touch to the promised land…we have arrived in the Premier League. You can catch up from the start here.

We saw our usual injection of funds into the club the clear the debt of the B Team:

Hello and welcome back to The Wonderkids where we continue to attempt to take a rag-tag bunch of players with unlimited potential from Division Three all the way to the top. Most of them may never have a hope in hell of becoming the next Nii Lamptey, John Curtis or David Beckham (yes he’s got unlimited potential whilst Michael Owen…does not) but we’ll see if we can drag the last ounce of potential out of them. You can catch-up with last week here.

Last time out the backbone of Dean ‘Bing’ Chandler had helped carry us to within sniffing distance of the promised land with 13 games to go. Our strikers not quite on fire as before but the goals continue and we’re defensively ‘okay’. Here’s a reminder of the table;

The Wonderkids are back on the trail seeing whether minus potential stats are enough to drag a team kicking and screaming into the elite competitions of CM9798. There have been a few small additions to the squad on the way as we look to see if they can kick-on in Division One. Catch up with last week here.

Last time out we signed up Rowdy Rody Turpijn to add to our contingent of Dutch minus men. We continue to make steady progress, but the playing field is much more level than the last season with last season’s FA Cup finalists Huddersfield amongst the chasing pack. The second-string strikers are not firing at all and we are more reliant on a close group of key players.
